Own worst enemy

This refers to the article, ‘American brilliance, Saudi anguish’ (March 10) by Ayaz Amir. The writer rightly pointed to the fact that what the US is doing to the world – its policy of intervention, its role in spreading turmoil, springing up terrorist forces as a reaction to its actions and then waging wars against those very terrorist organisations it helped create in the first place – Pakistan is doing in its own territory.
The writer has quite rightly pointed to the militant-establishment nexus. From day one our foreign policy is largely US-centric but does this also mean following in their footsteps?
